BEST MONSTER MOVIE EVER, slash, not so much

Gwoemul (The Host), with...a big fishymonsteracrobat thing. The first portion of the movie was utterly hilarious, and just plain fun - something about the cinematography when the monster was initially rampaging around made it feel like an amusement park ride to me. But then, the movie kind of meandered....then got mired...then serious. If they'd just stuck with funny, then I might have been a lot more enthusiastic by the end. But instead, it just got kind of sad, for all involved. I agree with Kim in that it seems there's a lot of socio-political commentary going on in the story and characters, but I'm just not up enough on the situation there to get more than a basic grasp of it. Perhaps if we hadn't watched it dubbed it would have been better, but....no, it just should have stood of stuck with slapstick monster comedy.

Looks to be like a couple psych/symbol-utilizing games might be interesting

A wonderful article on systema, including conditioning, grappling, and even things like bodyguarding technique
